About
This 8 class session will begin with hand-building techniques to provide better understanding of the ceramic medium before working on the pottery wheel. Artists will learn about the full ceramic process from creating their own ceramic pieces, the firing process, as well as glazing. Students will learn how to use ceramic tools and equipment from needle tools and ribs to slab rollers, extruders and electric wheels.
Artists who have taken this course with us will be able to continue building on their skills and knowledge with different projects that we demonstrate, as well as learning how to develop their own ideas and projects with the teacher's guidance.
The class is 2 hours once per week for 8 weeks. The registration fee includes clay, use of tools and supplies. Please note that we are unable to offer make-up classes, nor a pro-rate for future missed classes.
Once the session is over you will receive an email notice that the ceramic pieces have completed their glaze firing and are ready for pick up. This typically takes a week or two after the session wraps up.
*Please do not send your artist to class if they have any cold/flu symptoms (exhibiting, but not limited to cough, runny nose, sore throat, fever (temp of 100.4 +), shortness of breath, vomiting and/or diarrhea, or chills). Students who arrive or become ill at the studio will be sent home as soon as possible and will be isolated until pick-up.
*We require that parents/caretakers remain outside of the studio. Please feel free to accompany your artist to check-in/check-out (and peek your head into see the space). We know that many of our younger artists may be a bit anxious at first, and in those circumstances we welcome you to come into the entry way to check in with them, but we do not permit adults other than staff into the actual studio rooms.
